We've got just 2 weeks until the Acheron's Birthday Party. It's an all night affair with BBQ and a TON of killer bands. HULL and BEER & CABLE had to drop off, but we got brutal doom favorites BATILLUS, just back from tour and with a bowel-rattling new LP out. Not to mention our closest friends in MUTANT SUPREMACY, DEFEATIST, MORTALS, BAD DREAM, TOURNAMENT, and the debut of grind crushers TRENCHGRINDER (members ATAKKE, MUTANT SUPREMACY, PATHOS). Best of all.. the whole thing is FREE!

Finally! We've been trying to get our good buddy and songwriter extrordinaire FLETCHER C JOHNSON to play at the Acheron since we opened, and at long last he's gonna do it this coming Wednesday, April 20th. Fletcher's hooky, catchy, bouncy folk pop is infectious to say the least, and we're ecstatic he's gonna play a show for us. And just as hard to get on our stage, but equally as amazing is THE GODDAMN RATTLESNAKE, featuring members of ACID TIGER and SEXY CRIMES. Raw ass honkey tonk. Opening this cavalcade of country is Rev. Brandon Hayes, who croons in the style of all your favorites. Come on out and get stoked!

Vancouver's WHITE LUNG have been here before. They fucking rule. I could go on about them, but if you know them, you're not gonna miss this show, and if you don't, you'd better be here or cry yourself to sleep for being such a loser.
